Photoblog Hosting
From PhotoblogsWiki
There are several hosts that provide various photoblogging and photo sharing services. Some are specifically designed for photoblogging while others were created for different purposes but can still be used for photoblogging. If you're a little new to the web and don't have your own web server, these services can get you up and running quickly. If you already have your own webserver, you may want to install some Photoblog Software, instead.
